Pork Dinakdakan Recipe
Description
This Pork Dinakdakan recipe starts with boiling pork belly in water until tender. After cooling, the pork belly is seasoned and grilled on each side multiple times to build a smoky, charred flavor without burning. Once grilled, the pork is thinly sliced and combined with sliced red onion and chopped Thai chili peppers for pungency and heat.
The dressing combines mayonnaise, a savory liquid seasoning, lime juice for acidity, and optional onion powder to tie the flavors together. Tossing the sliced pork with this dressing creates a creamy yet tangy dish with contrasting textures from tender meat and crisp onions and peppers.
This dish is typically served as an appetizer or main, pairing well with rice or enjoyed as a snack. Leftover pork stock from boiling can be repurposed to enhance other dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. liempo pork belly
- ½ cup mayonnaise brand Lady’s Choice
- 3 tablespoons Liquid seasoning Knorr brand
- 2 to 3 pieces lime or 5 to 6 pieces calamansi
- 2 pieces red onion sliced into thin pieces
- 10 pieces Thai Chili pepper chopped
- 3 pieces green pepper sliced, long
- 1 teaspoon onion powder optional
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ quarts water
Instructions
- Boil water in a cooking pot.
- Add pork belly. Cover and continue to boil in medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove the pork belly from the pot. Let it cool. Note: you may use the pork stock (water used to boil liempo) to cook other dishes.
- Rub 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper over the pork belly. Let it stay for 10 minutes.
- Heat-up the grill. Grill each side for a total of 6 minutes. Note: I usually grill one side for 2 minutes, turn the belly over and grill the opposite side for the same time. The process is repeated 2 to 3 times. This will prevent the pork belly from being burnt.
- Slice the pork belly into thin pieces and arrange in a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Knorr Liquid Seasoning, lime juice, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir until well blended. Set aside.
- Put the onion and chili peppers on the bowl with the sliced pork belly. Toss.
- Add the dressing. Continue to toss until well blended. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve!
- Share and enjoy!
